Come Through the Crowd

Mm... come through the crowd
Mm... touch the hem

Twelve long years of a hurt I hid
Twelve long years of a closing door
I spent everything the doctors asked
And I came home needing more
I heard that You were passing through
That the street was full of men
I said if I can touch Your hem
I said if I can touch Your hem
I will be well, I'll be well again
My purse was empty, my name was dust
I wrapped my face in a borrowed shawl

But the crowd is thick and the crowd is loud
And I am small and I am slow
Nobody here will make a path
For a woman nobody knows

Come through the crowd, come through the crowd
I'm at the edge, come through the crowd
Come through the crowd, come through the crowd

Come through the crowd, come through the crowd
I'm at the edge, come through the crowd
Come through the crowd, come through the crowd
(Come to the edge) Lord, come through the crowd

Njoo, Yesu, njoo (come through)
Njoo, Yesu, njoo (come through)

I pushed through shoulders and through shade
I went down on my hands and knees
I did not reach to be seen by You
I reached to be free of the disease
Then You stopped and You said, who was that
And I trembled and I came
You did not call me a trouble
You called me daughter, and You knew my name
The whole street went quiet as a held-in breath
And the quiet was making room for me
It was not a quiet for shame
It was room made at the center

But the crowd is thick and the crowd is loud
And I am small and I am slow
And the only one who turned around
Was the One I had to go through

Come through the crowd, come through the crowd
I'm at the edge, come through the crowd
Come through the crowd, come through the crowd

Come through the crowd, come through the crowd
I'm at the edge, come through the crowd
Come through the crowd, come through the crowd
(Come to the edge) Lord, come through the crowd

Who touched my hem? (I did)
Twelve years bleeding and I did (I did)
Daughter, go in peace
Your faith has made you well

You came through the crowd, You came through the crowd
I was at the edge, You came through the crowd
You came through the crowd, You came through the crowd
You came through the crowd, You came through the crowd
(You came to the edge) Lord, You came through the crowd

Njoo, Yesu, njoo (You came through)
Njoo, Yesu, njoo (You came through)
You came to the edge (You came through)
You came through the crowd (You came through)

Everybody who ever stood at the edge (You came through)
Everybody who ever stood at the edge (You came through)
You came through the crowd (You came through)
You came through the crowd (You came through)

Amani, amani (go in peace)
Amani, amani (go in peace)
You came through the crowd

You came to the edge
You came through the crowd
Mm... for me
You came through the crowd
You came through the crowd
Mm... for me
You came through the crowd
